THE GLOBAL SUMMIT ON AIDS & THE CHURCH

In the 25 years since HIV/AIDS was first identified, there have been countless conferences addressing the pandemic from medical, social, political and religious perspectives by health professionals, NGOs, governments and para-church ministries.

The “Global Summit on AIDS & The Church” is strategically and historically unique. No HIV/AIDS conference has ever been built entirely around a practical “local church-based” strategy designed to mobilize millions of congregations around the world for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS. This conference features more than 50 global keynote speakers and informative sessions led by experts in business, government, medicine, non-profits and ministry who are working locally and globally in an attempt to end AIDS.

This year’s third annual Summit will include two new components – a pre-Summit featuring seven comprehensive, half-day workshops focusing on orphans and vulnerable children, justice issues, HIV in Russia, HIV in China, HIV in the U.S., HIV in resource-limited settings, and accessing government resources, as well as the first-annual Youth Summit on AIDS. The Youth Summit is intended to stir the hearts of students to care for those with HIV, and to strengthen their knowledge, engage their abilities, and maximize their potential to assist in the effort to end this global pandemic.
